Maca stimulates the pituitary gland and when the pituitary gland functions optimally, the entire endocrine system becomes balanced, because the pituitary gland controls the hormone output of the other three glands.

Maca Live™SUPPORTS THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM

The endocrine system is a complex network of chemical signals and messages that control many immediate and life-long bodily responses and functions:

Growing taller, developing male or female characteristics and reacting to fear are all partially directed by endocrine hormones. All animals with backbones - from fish to mammals - have an endocrine system that works hand-in-hand with the nervous system to:

• maintain the body's internal steady state (nutrition, metabolism, excretion, water and salt balance); • react to stimuli from outside the body; • regulate growth, development and reproduction; and • produce, use and store energy.

The endocrine system's three parts - glands, hormones and target cells- relay information and instructions throughout the body. Sometimes the whole process works within seconds, say, in response to fear. Other times it reacts more slowly, telling body parts when and how much to grow and developing characteristics that distinguish male from female.

2. In response, endocrine glands release hormones to carry instructions to specific cells. These chemical messengers travel from head to toe or just to the cell next door looking for and locking onto special binding proteins, known as receptors, that are located in and on the target cells.

3. Once bound, the receptor reads the hormone's message and carries out its instructions by starting one of two distinct cellular processes.

The receptor can: A. turn on genes to make new proteins, which causes long-term effects such as:

What would happen if there were a way to re-stimulate the entire endocrine system, starting with the master glands and proceeding to affect all the other major endocrine glands? What if those glands could be rejuvenated, as nature intended, so that we could produce adequate amounts of our own hormones once again? According to prominent researchers, there is a way to accomplish this seemingly impossible goal. By taking an herb called maca, most women can release their dependence upon taking hormone replacements.
